Guwahati, Oct 31: The Special Task Force (STF) of Assam Police has been conferred the Kendriya Grihmantri Dakshata Padak 2025 in the Special Operations category for its remarkable success in cracking down on a jihadi network during Operation Praghat.

The crackdown, codenamed Operation Praghat, was led by Assam STF Chief Dr. Partha Sarathi Mahanta and carried out with the support of the Kerala and West Bengal Police.
